Gallery: Patrick Stolfo

Patrick Stolfo is an artist and educator currently located in upstate NY. Born and raised in and around Detroit, MI, he completed his BFA at Wayne State University, a four year independent study and Sculpture internship under A. John Wilkes at Emerson College in England, and an MA in Waldorf Education at Mercy College of Detroit. He calls his home workspace ‘Calyx Studio’ in the spirit of the term calyx - traceable back to the Greek word kylix - meaning a ‘cup’ or ‘chalice’ into which something higher may be received. In an extensive career as a middle, high school, and adult educator, Patrick has taught sculpture in clay, wood, and stone, drawing, the history of art and architecture, aesthetics, philosophy, anthroposophy, and Waldorf pedagogy in numerous schools and teacher training programs across North America, including as adjunct instructor at Antioch University New England. He is a founding codirector and core faculty member of the Alkion Center at Hawthorne Valley, and has been an instructor and mentor for teachers at the Center for Anthroposophy in New Hampshire for some 30 years. The primary media for his own work have been terra-cotta, wood carving, carved and cast stone, concrete, lazure wall painting, and charcoal drawing. Patrick’s work has been exhibited and/or commissioned in Michigan, New York, Massachusetts, California, Sweden, and England.
